Customer Review: Picky person satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a driveway that is about 400 feet from the street and have an electric gate half-way up. There are numerous pine trees that block the view to the street, thus causing me to want to know when someone was driving or walking up my driveway.
I don't write many reviews of things I buy unless I am really impressed or really disappointed. I did extensive research on driveway alerts and finally decided on the Dakota alert ht-kit murs long range alert driveway system. I bought the system and I got the birdhouse also.
I found the instructions and the visuals to be somewhat limited, so I called Dakota Alert customer service. I got an instant phone answer to a real live person and no recording. The customer service person was an American in America and had complete knowledge of the product. Within a matter of a couple of minutes my questions were answered and my setup was completed. It is so nice to call customer service on a product where you aren't routed to the Philippines or India.
I had the whole system put together, including the bird house in about 20 minutes. About 10 minutes was spent putting together the bird house. Keep in mind that the bird house is a disguise and is not intended for birds... The holes were pre-drilled and came with high quality weather resistant screws(even one extra screw). All sides lettered inside so you put it together right. I am glad I purchased the bird house. It covers and disguises the transmitter and will probably protect it from the elements.
I mounted the transmitter(don't take off the translucent covering of the lens--I didn't because I asked the support tech) about 300 feet from the receiver. Tested it with a car and a person and it worked perfect.
I later had some false announcements and figured out that when the wind blew, the branches of the pine tree next to it caused it to announce. Also, make sure the transmitter is mounted at the right height and direction.
I charged the portable radio, made sure it was defaulted to channel 01 and it also works perfect, giving me announcements about 1000 feet away in my back yard. This isn't one of those flimsy radios that say they will transmit 5 miles and then when you get them home you can't even use them from one side of the house to the other. This radio will transmit from anywhere on my property(only 3 acres) to the base station very well.
So, in summary, I am very happy with the whole unit and am going to buy another transmitter for my back yard.
Good job, Dakota; thank you very much.
